Leopardstown Race 2 - Student Style Awards (C & G) Maiden
ASAKIR (2) is a typically well-bred runner for the Aga Khan stud. Finished third on debut three weeks ago. That was on heavy ground and could appreciate this sounder surface. Not to be taken lightly. CANNES (5) caught the eye after being prominent in the run on debut at the Curragh during November contesting a 1600m event. This step up in trip might suit and rates highly. BIENNALE (4) represents the most powerful connections and brings a striking pedigree. Wears a tongue-strap for this debut. Serious contender. WYMAN (11) will be of interest tackling handicaps in the future and is best watched adopting a first time tongue-strap.
